Most people will only see the rim views, but if you are semi fit make the time and go for a walk. We walked from the bottom to the top on this route and it was incredible. Breathe taking views along and very different from the other path. We even got to see a stag near India garden. The route was surprisingly gentle and had been designed well although our GPS tracked this as a 11.5 mile walk. But it still only took us 4hours 50 to get up.
try for a room at Bright Angel Lodge Cabins and step out of your room onto the trail, amazing access that is seamless to the Grand Canyon
The views on Bright Angel are spectacular, and the experience of going below the rim is truly worth every step. The rim is breathtaking, but Bright Angel adds another dimension to the Canyon. It is also the easiest of the South Rim trails, and large parts of it are wheelchair accessible. So, even if you never hike you should at least go a little way down Bright Angel. Also, if you do love hiking, don't be put off by the highway like nature of Bright Angel near the rim. The views farther into the canyon, and the relatively few people who make it past the first stop mean that Bright Angel is a one of a kind trail, perfect for beginner and expert alike.
大部份的游客都只到南缘,建议有一天的时间也去北缘玩,看的角度风景都不一样,还可以骑骡子下去溪谷.缺点就是北缘提供的住宿少,必须提早订.
Great trail!!! Four stops with bathrooms. We had lunch at indians gardens, the half way to bright angel campground.
We hiked down the Bright Angel Trail till Mile and a Half rest-house. The trail is breathtaking and very beautiful. There are many stops along the way to the bottom of the Grand Canyon. You need to decide till where you can go.1) Few stops along the way are - Upper Tunnel(15 mins one way), Lower tunnel(30 mins one way), Mile and a half (1-1:30 hours one way), Three Mile (3 hours one way). 2) Always remember that the hike down maybe kind of easy as it is only downhill but on the way back the hike can get strenuous as its only uphill.3) Mile and a half rest-house has drinking water and restroom facilities.4) There are few mule rides also in the bright angel trail of the South Rim.
Climbing up the bright angles trail from Phantom ranch had me in Awe. Being at the bottom of the canyon and looking up makes you realize how beautiful nature can be.the climb itself is hard but if you pace yourself and make your water stops at Indian gardens and the 3 mile and one and a half mile water stops you will be okay
虽然看上去积雪不多 但实际走时还是很滑,溶化的雪和泥土混在一起结成冰 非常难走 我们遇到几次驴子运输队 遇到驴子时 人在远离悬崖的一侧 驴子会从悬崖一侧通过 如果人被挤倒悬崖一侧 驴子再一挤 那就悲剧了冬天的大峡谷人少 走trail的人更少 做好各项准备是必须的
We walked about a mile on the Bright Angel trail late last summer. There is so much to see and that made it difficult to concentrate on our walk! The trail is well maintained and there are plenty of places to just stop, rest and take in the view. Our upcoming trip includes hiking to Plateau Point, a place we discovered both in photos and by speaking with other hikers. You can see the Colorado River from the Point. The Grand Canyon is the most spectacular place in the world, and not to be missed! I can't imagine going there and not wanting to go back. Just do it! You'll be SO glad you did!
It's a very long trail. It takes 4 hours to go all the way down on this trail and 4 hours more to come back but it's worth! You will love it!
